Well, you are looking for the perfect coffee travel mug. You might think that this is a trivial matter, but it is not! You should consider all the facets of your travel mug use before splurging your hard earned money. If you just go out and randomly buy an inexpensive mug, you will possibly end up throwing it away in a couple of weeks. If you find yourself a top quality cup that meets all your requirements, you might have a friend for life.

I wrote this post to help you avoid the booby-trap that many people face while looking for the ideal coffee vessel. If you follow this advice, you will get happiness in your coffee drinking attempts.

Think where you will utilize your travel flask. Will you be carrying it around at work, or using it in your car? If you are using the mug at work, you might want to consider buying a cup with a nice broad base, so don't knock it over on the desk.

If you are going to drink coffee in the car, consider a cup holder. Some cup holders will not only accommodate a particular width of travel coffee mug, and some holders will not permit a handle. I love to have a handle on my travel mug, but some car cup holders won't fit a mug with a handle that is too low. The solution to this quandary is to either buy a cup without a handle or to look for one that has the handle attached at the top but open at the bottom.

Now you might want to think about how much coffee you will be drinking. Do you need a large mug or a travel mug fulfill your requirement? One thing to consider is that the bigger the cup, the heavier it gets.

Think about it! Do you want your coffee to stay hot? If you are a slow coffee drinker, you will surely want a double insulated coffee travel flask. The more barrel shaped the mug is, the less surface area there is to insulate. Therefore a small insulated travel mug will keep coffee hot for a longer period than a tall and slender mug. The issue with a short and thick mug is the problem of the cup holder.

 What do you want the travel mug to be made of? Do you like ceramic, plastic, stainless steel or all the three? {ersonally, I favor stainless steel mugs with a plastic lid. The double insulated stainless steel travel mugs that are steel inside out are the best. They are very enticing and long-lasting. If you buy a top quality stainless steel mug, it may last for years.

Never forget the lid! Not all covers are made equal. If you are planning to use the travel mug in the car, you will want a cover with a slip slider or other type of mechanism to keep hot coffee from spilling out and on your lap. Some lids also have loose fitting pivot closures. Those don't work very well. They permit coffee to spill everywhere. I favor the slip sliders, the tighter, the better.
